Heard whispers of D’Angelo having a new album out, and I had to jump up to track it down, and see if all the fans wishes had been answered. Found that that said album is called “Interpretations: Remakes”. Well…. it’s ANOTHER fraud. All it is music from his previous official releases and concerts, put into basically a mixtape.

So, after being disappointed once again, I tried to get a better understanding of who is putting out these mixtapes disguised as official releases. The company’s name is “Think Different Music Group“. According to their Bio, they work with artists for A&R and to market their albums. My question is, why would an artists give the green light for a 3rd party to release sub par versions of their music, when his current label Virgin Records can do that, and they have the masters? Also why wouldn’t he have those releases listed on his MySpace page to garner more sales? The ONLY official compilation album is “The Best So Far“. All these other releases are just mixtapes that someone is trying fleece devoted fans, who are dying for a new album.

D’Angelo’s fans want to throw their money at him for concerts, albums, singles and possible music videos. In the title I say it’s a sad state, because both the artist and the fan are being abused. I mean this is D’Angelo. The man that gave real meaning to “Brown Sugar”, and co-defined “Lady” along with Lionel Richie (Happy Birthday today).

So, here are five mixtapes that I have collected to help get the fans by until we are blessed with new material from Sir D’Angelo. Enjoy.

[Update] Thanks to “The Ned” found out that D’Angelo’s trainer has made a statement concerning the near future of D’Angelo. Here it is.

“I’m rocking with Mary [J. Blige] this SUMMER and I’m starting with D’Angelo next week,” Jenkins revealed toSOHH last weekend. “So I’m looking for a big transformation with D’Angelo. We’re back. His music is good and he’s gonna be coming back pretty strong in the next three or four months. The music is tight. That transformation was really one of the big ones that put me on the map so we’re looking to get him in better condition than the ‘Untitled’ video. That’s the target we’re shooting for.” (SOHH)

Hahahaha I’m listening to the Interpretations album right now and before I read this and was sitting here thinking…”Hold up…Ive heard all these songs before on different albums. Someone straight up put all the Interp’s he did and made a damn album out of it.” lmao! You beat me to the chase fam!

It’s a hot album none the less. Saved me the hassle of putting them all together and taking credit for it as a mixtape. hahahaha
